Pillar of Yita

There’s also Miya, the Witch of the Sea who asked him what happened.

But there’s no news from R’s side.

Among all the messages, it was unexpectedly a certain little princess from Silver Weslan who sent the most.

Sophie started sending him messages from yesterday afternoon until now, about over forty messages.

More than half of them were like: ”Are you there, are you dead, if not, reply, are you really dead?”

Such messages could give one a headache.

He put down the navigation log and replied to the senders one by one.

It seemed that everyone else was unavailable for the moment, but Sophie was the first to reply to his message:

”You’re in big trouble, do you know that?”

”...”

Fang Hong sent a string of ellipses over.

”Don’t be speechless, are you guys safe now?”

Fang Hong was slightly taken aback, he didn’t expect the news to spread so fast that even Sophie knew what happened over here.

He described the situation on his side, and over there Sophie said: ”What do you mean ’me’, now half of the continent knows, and soon even the neighbors will know your name.”

”Is it that exaggerated?”

”Ade, Ade, don’t you know what you’ve done?”

What good deed had he done? Fang Hong thought, it was just being wanted by the Colin people, plus a Descendant of Flor, that’s all.

”What Descendant of Flor,” Sophie said irritably: ”Who told you about the Descendant of Flor, it’s about the Alliance.”

”Alliance, which alliance?”

”Other than the Super Competitive Alliance, which alliance?”

”What’s up with the Super Competitive Alliance?” Fang Hong was confused, he thought the Alliance wouldn’t be able to convict them anyway.

”Grey wanted order, you know?”

”What!?” Fang Hong almost jumped out of bed.

Of course he knew about the Grey wanted order, but when X told him they might be in trouble, he didn’t think it would be this serious.

The Grey wanted order is not a wanted order, its real name is actually the Grey List, and those on the list are deemed unwelcome Invokers by the Alliance.

Under the Grey List status, no guild within the Super Competitive Alliance can interact, form a benefit relationship, or provide assistance to them, otherwise they may face expulsion from the Super Competitive Alliance as the most severe punishment.

At the same time, any guild member within the Alliance that kills someone on the list can receive high point rewards.

This reward and punishment make those on the list essentially public enemies of the major guilds within the Super Competitive Alliance, like walking points.

This list is so severe that it has always been known as the highest wanted order of the Super Competitive Alliance, the name Grey wanted order spread without effort.

”The Super Competitive Alliance insists that you engaged in piracy in Tansnier, therefore putting you on the Grey List, along with being wanted by the Colin people, many now believe you’ve truly become pirates.”

Fang Hong understood the Silver Weslan princess’s description, of course realizing it was the Super Competitive Alliance targeting them.

In fact, many people have had out-of-line actions, who hasn’t been reckless in youth, and there are indeed many who’ve had pirate actions. Moreover, the native people are not blameless either, with business and piracy intertwined.

The Sky Sea is rather a grey area, but the Super Competitive Alliance took advantage of the Colin people’s wanted order to take the initiative in defining them, leaving others with nothing to say.

After all, the Grey List is an internal measure of the Super Competitive Alliance, only effective within its guilds, concerning affairs between guilds and Invokers.

If without reason, the military could have used an argument of abuse of power to prevent it, but this time there is a just cause, making it different.

Fang Hong couldn’t help but feel a bit troubled, he thought the Super Competitive Alliance would target them, but didn’t expect the retaliation to be so fierce.

Sophie then softly spoke again:

”Ade, the covenant between Silver Weslan and you must be terminated, from now on you can no longer use the Energy Angel, and as per the agreement, we will also destroy the self-destruct model Walkers.”

She paused, ”...After all, Silver Weslan is also part of the Super Competitive Alliance, and some rules must be followed, hope you understand.”

”I understand...” Fang Hong entered after a brief silence.

Honestly, this deal was actually a gain for him, as for quite a long period the Energy Angel was his main Construct, and Silver Weslan hadn’t even used the self-destruct model Walkers, which would cost a sum to destroy.

But personal and Grand Guild interests are not calculated in such a way, behind this deal was actually cooperation and acknowledgment between both parties, terminating the covenant means he would have no further contact with this princess’s guild.

He originally quite liked the ideology of Silver Weslan, but now it’s inevitable to feel a bit lost.

It can’t be called betrayal, but there’s more or less a feeling of being abandoned.

Besides, this news is just adding insult to injury; right now, he doesn’t have any available flexible constructs at hand. Originally, he was counting on making another batch of energy angels to hold the fort, but he didn’t expect something like this to happen.

Then he heard the system prompt him that the blueprint for the energy angels had become invalid. This was actually a thoughtful little reminder from Lady Roman.

Miss Roman is probably the Deity among Oulin Saints who cares most about her believers.

”Actually, there’s one more thing,” Sophie continued.

”What’s the matter?”

”Recently, you all need to... be careful, there are at least seven guilds near Nogness announcing they’re hunting for you.”

”What does it have to do with them again?” Fang Hong said with a bit of annoyance.

”Part of it is related to the Descendants of Flor, the rest are after the reward points from the grey list, the Super Competitive League has set a sky-high bounty on you, if you have time you can check it out on the community...”

”It might also include Hailin Crown,” Fang Hong thought.

”Also,” Sophie continued, ”If you plan to head north via Saint Hugon, it’s best to change routes.”

”What’s wrong again?”

”I’ve heard there’s a fleet composed of at least three guilds heading in that direction, the Descendants of Flor have issued a death order... and this is just part of what we know...”

We, that word made Fang Hong’s heart slightly stir, ”Wait, aren’t you prohibited from helping us with the grey list?”

Sophie chuckled, ”It’s not that strict, if you join us, Silver Weslan might consider going against the alliance.”

”If I join you or any guild under the alliance’s rule, the alliance itself won’t trouble us, right?”

Fang Hong inputted with a touch of annoyance, as if he hadn’t noticed the text traps set by this princess.

Sophie realized she was caught out, sent a playful emoji over:

:P

She laughed cheerfully again, ”But at least the Descendants of Flor won’t trouble you.”

”No thanks.”

”Alright, alright,” Sophie shrugged, ”Actually, it’s just word games, the guild is the guild, I am me, if they dare to mess with me, I’ll come over to your ship and drive them crazy.”

Fang Hong knew this Silver Weslan princess was joking with him, couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

The atmosphere was a bit tense for a while.

Sophie heard the babbling sounds from the other side, couldn’t help but type, ”Can I see Nini?”

Fang Hong lifted the little girl with both hands, Nini thought Papa wants to hold her, behaving adorably.

But soon, she saw Sophie and Xi on the other side of the communication screen, and immediately reached out her little hands for a hug.

Sophie couldn’t help but laugh, Xi’s eyes were also full of little stars.

”Really wish I could come and see Nini,” she sighed.

”Where are you?” Fang Hong asked.

”In Sopah.”

”That place...” Fang Hong reacted at once.

It’s the final gateway to Sky Land in the Far South, and beyond that is the Continental Bridge.

He quieted down, ”You’re going to the Second World?”

Sophie nodded, ”The guild has already decided.”

For a moment, Fang Hong couldn’t help but feel a bit lost, reminiscing about the days of adventuring with her.

When working with this Silver Weslan princess, he always found a sense of ease.

But didn’t expect them to move to the Second World so soon, while the Seven Seas Travel Group still seemed so far away.

Having the backing of a Grand Guild sure is good.

Sophie saw his expression and couldn’t help but laugh, ”Rare sight, even Captain Ade here shows sentimental moments. Actually, I believe you can make it over soon.”

”I guess by then you’ll have a higher level than us.”

”Definitely.” Fang Hong regained full confidence.

”Arrogant fool.”
